largest skifs When all things OF amy
use were put into the boat, the glrI

They had not advanced twenty yards
before they were almost struck dunno
by seeing the ship rise on one OF those
mountains of water and come down
with crash upon one Of the rocks ana
there lay q helpless wreck. 10 APP
proach nearer than one hundred feet
from the ship would be madness, and
20 Jack had to invent some other mode
of rescuing the poor wretches who were
clnging to the masts. calling on Hoa
for mercy. Pulling the boat with re-
doubled effort, he brought it as close to
the ship as was prudent, and then set
about examining his ropes. BY tying
both together he would have enough to
reach the ship, allowing some to tie at
both ends; then he raised his strong,
manly voice in loud ''Hello.' and
succeeded in making himself heard on
board; and after much labor he also
succeeded in throwing them one end OF
the rope. In this way rope bridge
was constructed between the shiverng
ship and the trail, little bark of our
hero. At last all was completed, and
tie whole crew of the Albatross were
saved with the exception Of a few emf
grants who jumped overheard i'll their

About year later small package
was received in that little cabin by the
seashore, containing two articles.
First, there was small piece Of parch-
ment, very mountaineering, but OF
immense value to the one by whom it
was received, as it settled upon Jack
Henderson a yearly pension for life.
Second there was gold medal bearing
this inscriptions:

A Pickwickian Inn.

The Saracen's Head Inn at Towces-
ter, described in '.Pickwick,' still ex-
lists in good order, though its name has
been changed. Internally, the kitchen,
the scene of the conflict between the
rival editors of the Eatanswill Gazette
and Eatanswill Independent, has now
become the "smoking-room," the only
change being that the broad fireplace
and open chimney, with seats in each
corner. has disappeared and a modern
CRATE has been substituted. One who
has lately visited the place says: 1.-The
two half-life-size statues of Venus and
Apollo still fill their inches over the
great doors, as they have done for more
than century past, and were the SUBJ
iect, within my memory, of CONVEX
sation between new hostess and the
hereditary postboy, which was worthy
of Sam Weller, and would probably
have amused Dickens had it occurred
before his visit. Whose likenesses are
those?' was the lady's question. well.

BUREAU OF MENDING.

What a New Yorker Has Done Toward
Lessening the Woes Of Bachelors.
Bureau of mending" is the sign on
the door of a big rear-room in one of the
business blocks in Fourteenth street,
near Fifth avenue. A reporter found
inside the room several women running
sewing machines and others stitching.
with all their might at articles of cloth
ing that lay in their laps. Bundles
wrapped in newspapers with ord IS
pinned to them were piled on long
table.
1--WE think we are filling a long-felt
want" said the manager, busy-ap-
pearing man. Persons living in
boarding-houses and hotels have long
experienced the inconvenience of either
having to do their own mending, for
which they have neither facilities nor
the necessary practical knowledge, or
to be obliged to throw away articles of
clothing before they are really worn
out. The Bureau of Mending has been
organized to do the mending of such
persons at prices reasonable enough to
make it worth their while to have it
done.
"By the employm ent of a large corps
of skilled operators we are prepared to
do all kinds of repairs expeditiously
and thoroughly. Our messengers will
be sent for articles to be repaired any
where within the city limits on Motif
cation by postal card.
"Socks darned for cents per pair"
said the manager, taking up his price
list: 'sshirts rebosomed for 50 cents
apiece; new collar bands, 10 cents
apiece; new wristbands, 5 cents each;
gloves mended at cents per pair; nap
kins. 5 cents each; sheets or pillow
cases hemmed. 10 cents each. All
kinds of repairs done for ladies at ex-
ceptionally low prices

a profitable one. The lotteries arc con-
Quoted by the Government, and the
tickct-vendcrs arc paid a liberal per-
centage of their sales. Men, women
and children recruit the ranks; they
are found everywhere. They have no
distinctive features, save the great
budget of flimsy, translucent tickets
which they try to force upon the passer-
by, and their scissors for cutting of
coupons. Several prominent journals
of the United States have lately printed
the remarkable statement that ''all the
newsboys of Mexico are women, who
never cry their papers, but silently hold
them toward the passer." The chron-
iclcr of that error had in mind these
sellers of lottery tickets. the large
printed sheets of which do somewhat
resemble newspapers. 1t is safe to
gamble on" the proposition that
there is not woman pcddling news
papers in Mexico. The ncwsboys are
men and lads who cry their papers
and Il suggestion of their contents
with true professional yells. They
urge their wares pertinaciously, thrust
ing them through the windows of
coaches and tramcars and invading
the latter if they can elude the conduc
tors vigilance. The aguadorcs or pub
lie watercarricrs are picturesque and
characteristic sights. They wear a
species of leather harness, brcast-plate,
back-shield and apron, and Il flat cap
usually of straw served with leather.
On the back, suspended by a bro1d
leather band crossing the Torch. ad
rests an earthern jar with three ham
dies, odd in shape, called chochocol,
and from another strap farther back
on the head depends the .jarra, another
earthenware vessel shaped like pitch
CT. In these utensils is carried from
the public fountains water for domestic
use in such houses as have no piped
water supply. 1t is noticeable that
these men all have fattened heads, as
may we'll be, when their craniums are
subjected to almost constant pressure

the Republic, upon what was formerly
called the Place du Chateau d Eau, but
is now the Place de la Republique. The
oldest is that of Henry ", upon the
Pont Neuf. 1t was erected by his wild
ow, Marie de Medicis. in 16i4, and the
bronze horse which the king bestrode
was isinally cast for Ferdinand, Duke
of Tuscany, but was given at his death
by Cosmos de Medicis to his sister.
The vessel which was bringing it from
Italy to France was wrecked off the
coast of Normandy. and the bronze
horse remained for a year buried in the
sea. After it had been erected on the
Pont Neuf, with Henry ~, upon its
back, it underwent no further vcissi-
tudes until 1892, when horse and rider
were melted down into cannon. A
fresh statue was erected in 1918, and.
though the communists threatened to
destroy it in 1871, they did net do so.

LIFE IN MEXICO.

Some Of the Queer Characters to Be Seen
on the Streets of Mexican Cities.
In no other country. in no other city
can be seen as in Mexico such close
iuxtaposition of splendor and squalor,
of progress and semi-barbarism, of po-
tential wealth and actual poverty, of
the old and the new, the high and the
low, of culture and abject ignorance.
On the upper levels of u house may live

dowed with all the graces, material and

able of neighbors, a pmlquersa. where

A Pretty Editorial Send-Of Condensed
from the Muddy Forks Bugle.

Bill Shanks and Lib Ripper waltzed
into the Office of our genial justice of
the peace yesterday, and were made
one man in about three shakes of a
dead sleeps tail. Lib and Bill are
leading society people here, and they
have scads of friends who join us in
wishing that their married life may be
all love and molasses. Bill is royal
good boy, and them that knows Lib
knows that they amt no discount on
her. She is the most accomplished
young lady in Muddy Forks, and one
that any man could be proud of. She
killed two bears with club, one day
last spring, and can slap over three
acres of ppairie-sod with a yoke of
oxen any day. She can split more rails
in a day than any other young lady in
these parts, and there amt many men
that beat her on cord-wood. Lib is a
dandy when it comes to fancy work Of
this kind.

ulation. They will be at home in their
